"Jermyn
makes beautifully judged organic forms categorised under two headings, Pods and
Standing. They resemble, without illustrating, various plant shapes and
textures, though they are related to non-organic processes that generate the
intricate patterns of the natural world. So her work spans the geological
and the organic in its range of reference, without being a depiction of any
single aspect of that continuum. There is something elemental and fundamental
about her pieces, though, a feeling of rightness and inevitability. She
is exceptionally attentive to nuances of tone, colour and texture as well as
shape, and seems to have an unerring instinct for sculptural form. ...Her Pods
enclose spaces in a gentle, caressing way, imbuing them with a sense of
generative potential."

A short film about my exhibition "Clay Journeys - Pots & Snapshots" at the Courthouse, Tinahley, Co Wicklow as part of the 20th Anniversary celebrations in 2016. I had been involved for many years as Secretary of the Restoration Committee, so it was lovely to be back there in a completely different capacityhttps://youtu.be/pNB-SMis2nI
